According to sources close to the club, the striker has even spoken with Ancelotti about the possibility of Real Madrid considering signing Gasiorowski. Vinícius sees in the young centre-back the characteristics that every Real Madrid defender must have. Yarek has talent, character and the ability to take responsibility in important matches.
Yarek has proven to be a key player for Valencia. Since last season, he's accumulated more than 1,500 minutes between the first team and the youth teams. He's established himself as one of the most promising players in Spanish soccer.
His youth and potential make him an interesting target for several big clubs, including Real Madrid. The white club, always on the lookout for young talents, is exploring the possibility of signing Gasiorowsi.
